Hope you enjoyed this busy day/night of action. The next time at least 20 teams play will be (flips calendar) February 10, which is two weeks away. - With Carter Hart’s very indefinite leave of absence, Samuel Ersson is now the starter in Philly. He has earned it with some solid play during the first [...]
The Avalanche have signed Zach Parise to a one-year contract worth $825,000. Parise should provide Colorado with scoring depth, which should help a team that seems to deal with more than its share of injuries (currently without Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichushkin). A point-per-game scorer early in his career with the Devils and a fairly [...]
The Islanders made a splash on Saturday, firing Lane Lambert and hiring Patrick Roy to be their new head coach. I took care of the Fantasy Take here. We will get to see Coach Roy in action very quickly, as the Isles have a match with the Stars today (Sunday) at 7:30 pm ET. - [...]
The New York Islanders have hired Patrick Roy to be their new head coach, replacing Lane Lambert. The Islanders’ 4-3 overtime loss to Chicago on Friday could have sealed Lambert’s fate, as the team had gone 2-6-2 in its last 10 games. Lambert’s team had become more fantasy friendly this season, as players like Bo [...]
As expected, the Senators have signed Shane Pinto to a one-year, $775,000 contract. Pinto is expected to return from his half-season suspension on Sunday, so it will be interesting to see how the Senators draw their lines up the middle with Josh Norris projected to return at around that time as well. In the Midseason [...]
I’m going to cut right to the chase here. If you need goaltending help, go kick the tires on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. UPL has posted back-to-back shutouts this week and has five wins and five quality starts in his last six games. I know, I know… the shutouts were against bottom feeders San Jose and Chicago, [...]
More updates for the Roto Rankings for January. The injuries just keep on coming, and plenty of new players make their way onto the rankings because of a strong first half. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. [...]

Connor Bedard has been placed on IR with a fractured jaw. Although one report suggested he would be out four to six weeks, Chicago coach Luke Richardson said there’s no timeline for Bedard’s return. I wrote about what the Blackhawks would look like without Bedard in yesterday’s Ramblings. (Spoiler: Like an AHL team, but you [...]
If Connor Bedard is on your keeper team, I’m sure you’d love to bubble wrap him to protect him from the dangers of a full-contact sport. Regardless, starring in hockey means risking an injury at any point. Unfortunately, there's a real possibility that Bedard will miss his first game after he left Friday’s game with [...]
